My Granny was hugely important to me and of great creative support. As an artist, she was very encouraging when I was small to draw, and paint and experiment with art. Sadly, we lost her last year, but I am pleased that I got to show her my first few illustrations.
One very fond memory is of making a ginger cake with her and my mother at Halloween. We crafted a recipe that was a mixture of several from 'the books', drank tea, and pondered over if the recipe would turn out well. It did, and a few weeks ago I made the ginger cake and decided to illustrate our 'family' recipe. It is a delicious sticky cake using black treacle, and is especially yummy after a few days of sitting and thinking about itself.
It is featured on the glorious website They Draw They Cook, which is awash with beautiful artwork and food inspiration.
